Published

She’s spent three years hating the crag-lord for her father’s death. She has no idea the plain-masked warden she’s fallen for, one week a year, is the same man.
Adaira Loxwood carves masks and court proclamations for a living, and she has never once forgiven the crag-lord for the emergency edict that put her father on a scaffold in a storm that killed him. Every year at the one Cedar Rite when rank disappears behind a mask, she loses herself for a week in the company of a quiet, plainly dressed warden named Rhett, the only person at Cedarcrag who has made her laugh since her father died. She has no idea Rhett is Caius Vernmoor, the crag-lord himself, wearing the one disguise that lets him hear anything true about his own court, because every voice that reaches him first passes through the capable, fatherly hands of the seneschal who has run Cedarcrag since before Caius was born.

What neither of them knows is that Adaira carries a gift she’s never had reason to name: a true read of a lie or a truth, felt through her own carving fingers against cedar grain. And it’s about to tell her that the board her father died carving was carved from a lie.

What Caius doesn’t know is how much longer he can let the woman he loves one week a year go on hating the other six days of him.

Perfect for readers who love a masquerade where the mask hides a name and not a character, a hidden-power heroine who reads truth through her own hands, and a beloved household officer whose decades of trusted service hide a much colder theft.
